Hi - Timewalker are you still around on this ? I have used your method to install El Capitan beta on my 1201N and it runs ok. Your 1201n ion package wont run because ( i think ) it checks for OSX 10.7-10.10 ie wont allow 10.11 ! I have also read that there is a security check on 10.11 that has to be switched off by booting to recovery and wondered what effect this had. Many thanks for your excellent work making hackingtosh a 1201N so easy for a newbie like me. Cheers

No longer have the machine (well, I do, but it serves other needs now) .. so can't comment match. The package indeed was hardcoded to require certain versions, but you can pick up my work as it's open, grab packages app to build the source from my DELL repo

There's no need for a modified kernel for a long while now as Atom 330 can be made to work on the fly...

For services to work proper serial data is required along with proper NVRAM vars. If you don't have one sourced, well, too bad for you..

Not entirely sure how i did this ( blundering about ) but - found a terminal command on a forum to turn off security

sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"

That seemed to let me install Clover to boot from hard drive ( previously only from usb stick )
also 1201N support package also ran with warning of "unsupported system" continued anyway and got succesfull "install complete"

No sound
No Airport (but using Wireless USB)
No camera
Thanks for the replies guys
El Capitan on a 1201N - amazing.
